Low Risk NYC Grade: A

Going back to 2022, Zona Rosa has three inspections in the public record. Inspectors last stopped by on Dec 26, 2024. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately.

The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around two violations, down from roughly six violations earlier in the record.

The pattern that stands out is “food protection certificate (FPC) not held by manager or supervisor”, which has been cited two times.

That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Brooklyn restaurant scores 77. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
